Posted on 23 Dec 2011 by thesportingmouth.
And so it continues. The FA have yet again failed to provide any sensible moral leadership after the announcement by the CPS on Wednesday that they will be pressing charges against John Terry for racial abuse. This blog has made it's position clear on John Terry and his inadequacies as England captain so we'll turn our attention instead to this latest abdication of responsibility by the FA. Le...

Unfit for purpose
Posted on 4 Nov 2011 by thesportingmouth.
Captain Disaster The phrase “John Terry, England captain” sticks in my throat. Now let me be clear, I’m no Johnny come lately to the” how can this man be England captain” bandwagon – I’ve been a fully paid up member for years but it does seem to me that the allegations against his suitability for the role are so over-whelming that it beggars belief that he’s clung onto the a...

Posted on 14 Oct 2011 by thesportingmouth.
Normally the anxiety of supporting England in a major soccer tournament starts a few weeks before the action kicks off.

Still Waiting for the Rise
Posted on 5 Oct 2011 by Stephen Gonzalez.
Jurgen Klinsmann's recent arrival here in the states has revamped viewers and fans to believe that the U.S national team is just on the brink of glory.

Real Madrid Spotlight: Marcelo
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior, or “Marcelo” is a 22 year old Brazilian National who has had a fantastic year for Real this year. He likes to push up the left side as either a back or winger and has been vital to Madrid’s success. I’ll be honest in saying that I had some doubts about the young player’s role at the beginning of the year. Moreover, I’d become even more ner...

How am I supposed to be excited for a World Cup in Qatar or Russia? Is FIFA serious?
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
The USA got robbed. And so did a lot of other countries. FIFA has always reeked of corruption but the smells of shadiness are truly wafting through the soccer organization and governing body’s walls. How were the world cup bids for 2018 and 2022 given to Russia and Qatar accordingly? Well, money talks and I think the political representatives were greasing FIFA. And of course FIFA wou...

Game recap: Sweden vs Germany
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by 90Soccer.com.
By Peter Herrnreiter Tight defending and lackadaisical attacking were on display today as Sweden hosted Germany in an international friendly in Gothenburg. Germany, who fielded four first time internationals, had a difficult time breaking the Swedish backline, with Toni Kroos coming the closest to any real scoring chance for either side.

Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by 90Soccer.com.
In a game that reflected the poor form of both clubs, River Plate toppled Boca Juniors 1-0 in El Monumental before a raucous sell-out crowd, who set the tone for the match by unveiling a massive flag in support of River.
